Funny thing is they'll drop price on everything but the thing that needs it most. The PS3. Good going, Sony!

The funny thing is, this year the blu-ray player isn't a selling point anymore cause I can walk into a number of places and get a stand alone player now for 200 bucks. < Not that I need one, I already have one, but still. The common customer isn't going to say

"Hey, Iron Man and Batman are both out on blu-ray this holiday season; think I'll pick me up a Ps3 to watch them"

Sony needs a refresher course on how the world works. What kills me is Sony keeps tossing out all these big games and yet nobody is buying the system still.

GTA4
MGS4
Warhawk
Uncharted
Resistance
R&C
Hhheavenly Sword
Motorstorm
COD4
Oblivion
Folklore
Burnout
Madden
NBa live
Fight night 3
Ninja Gaiden
Rockband

Those are just some of what's already out. The system has games, man. Good ones too. Then, couple those with these coming out this month and next.

Silent Hill 5
Motorstorm 2
Resistance 2
Lllittle big planet
Bio Shock
Fallout 3
Rockband 2
Spiderman < whatever it's called
Alone in the dark 5
Resistance 2
Farcry 2

I mean, c'mon guys. What is wrong here? This doesn't begin to cover all the kick ass PSN games out and on the way, either. It's not the games. It's the price of the syste. People want it, they can't afford it and the worst part, sony is hurting sales of the above games by not dropping price now.

People who finally do adopt PS3's won't go back and play even half these great games. They'll be forward thinking. Trust me.

Blu-Ray players dropping, Cell chip shrinking, MS price drop... all signs pointing to PS3 price drop soon.

iHEARTboobs6449d ago

There's plenty of people buying the system. Sure they might not buy it strictly for Blu-ray anymore but some will buy it because of the added blu-ray. The big games should be coming out more frequently so sales should be good and steady. If LBP sells consoles then it should be a great holiday season for Sony.

I guess you are still alive, All these big games sold system after all and yup it didnt kill you or else you won't be posting here.

Looks like they're clearing the way for a price drop for the PS3.

thebudgetgamer6449d ago

i remember reading something that said if Sony dropped the price on the ps3 before the standalone players dropped in price it would hurt the market

On november 4. comes a new release of star wars but no blu-ray support. Why? I guess Lucas doesn't think blu-ray would sell enough copys. Same with Indiana Jones just Indy4 blu-ray not indy1-3. And where is Lord of the Rings on blu-ray. All this are movies what blu-ray needs and sales of players would go up.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle32d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy39d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
